PatrolTask

Remarks

doc 37 § Part 3's Patrol. The route is the level's data and the task is the asset's: one tree runs every guard in the game and each of them carries the corridor it walks, so there is no tree per route.

⚠ Only Forward ever succeeds. A loop and a ping-pong have no end, so they stay Running for ever and are meant to be interrupted — by a decorator observing a perception key, which is the whole shape of a patrolling guard.
